Monday Morning Blahs

It's Monday morning and I have the blahs. Or rather it's the blah blah blah blah blah's. Why? Well, because like most people I try to spend as much time as possible with my kids and family and friends on the weekends. After all that's the whole point, isn't it - to make a living without really having to work. To become a millionaire without having to try. To get the cash to roll in without any effort whatever. One thing that I preach about on this blog is that the reality is always different than the dream. I've worked hard to build an online business (or two) that can operate without daily attention. And I've been pretty successful. But the truth, and this is something you must never forget if you want to be successful too, is that any business online or not, is a business. And that requires you to work at it all the time. My businesses are doing well enough that I can take time off for weekends with the kids and regular vacations and afternoons golfing. But when I get back to my desk, I have business to take care of. Monday's are always a downer because there's a couple extra days of stuff in my e-mail inbox that needs to be sorted and read and trashed and replied to. After a while it all starts blurring together. Blah blah blah blah blah! I hate those long rambling messages that take for ever to get to the point. So please help me make my Monday's a little brighter... get to the point! Stop sending those e-mail blasts that try to tell me the whole story. I've said it before, your e-mail blasts should be short and catch people's attention - then steer them to the rest of the story on your web site. You'll never sell anything in an e-mail and you'll never sell anything from your web site unless you get people to visit it. In other words, your emails need to drive traffic to your site, not make my Monday a blah blah blah day.
